Directions from North

From Limoges Airport, take the exit, go straight on at the first roundabout, and follow the large blue signs to the Autoroute A20. If you set your trip meter on the exit road opposite the terminal, the sign directing you to turn left is only 600 metres away.

200 metres further on you will see the junction so turn LEFT and this takes you onto the N520 (was D2000) clockwise.

13 kms later you will come to two roundabouts in rapid succession, go straight over the first and turn right at the second towards Toulouse. You will be coming in at Jct 28.

Take the A20 southbound (It's free from Vierzon to South of Brive). Leave it at junction 45 which is signposted Tulle, Aurillac & Clermont-Ferrand (Don't be tempted by the new A89 link, it's a snare and delusion unless you know the back doubles through Tulle). You will be on the D1120 (previously the N120). Carry on towards Tulle which is about 28 kms from the motorway exit. As you go down the hill into Tulle do NOT fork right towards "Centre ville", carry straight on (Toutes directions).

When you reach the valley, and at the new roundabout turn LEFT over the river and left again up the hill on the other side (signposted Autres directions and Ussel, Argentat).

Go up the hairpins and at the top again, turn RIGHT onto the N89 (green(signpost Aurillac, Brive - with Argentat in white beneath it).

Exactly 3 km later, take the first exit (signposted Aurillac). On descending the slip road, you will find yourself at a T junction on the D1120 (ex N120) again, turn LEFT (green signpost - Aurillac). Continue from Ref A

Directions from East

Take N89/A89 towards Tulle, Brive & Bordeaux.Do follow signs to A89 if you can as it makes a big difference to the journey. Take the Tulle Centre/Aurillac exit and join the N89 east of Tulle, don't be tempted to continue on A89 to Tulle Nord as it is useless for access to the south, where we are. Once on the N89, beware there is an automatic radar speed camera between the motorway exit and Tulle. From the N89 roundabout, carry on for around 10 kilometres and leave it at the second Tulle exit (signposted in Green - Aurillac - in white, Laguenne, Argentat & Mauriac). On descending the slip road, you will find yourself at a T junction on the D1120, turn LEFT (green signpost - Aurillac).

Almost immediately you will see the supermarket Atac on your right - a good place to refill your car cheaply. Carry on along the D1120 (originally the N120) towards Aurillac, climbing up the hill and down again. Our roadside sign:-

is 14 km from the traffic lights at Atac, and directs you to turn left exactly 900 m further on in the middle of the village of Forges.

Directions from West.

Take the A89 to junction 19 (Brive) following signs for centre ville and Tulle. After a longish slow one way section on little roads, you will pass a non roundabout at a bridge. Go straight on for a further km or two in the Tulle direction. Pass E Leclerc (good place for cheap petrol) and then at the roundabout in front of Géant, turn right. Cross the river and then at the next round about turn left. Carry on the end of the road, and turn right (mini roundabout). This road climbs a bit for about a km and arrives at a major roundabout (Rhin et Danube) on the old N121, now D921 where you turn left towards Lanteuil, Beynat & Argentat.

Take it and climb slowly up towards the D940 junction (Roche de Vic/4 routes d'Albussac) and down on the other side again. Some 34 km later, you will arrive at a T junction with the D1120 (previously the N120), green signs left to Tulle and right to Aurillac, white left to Forges and right to Argentat.

Turn LEFT and after about 2kms you will see our roadside sign of the right, Continue from ref B

Directions from the South-East.

From Aurillac and the Cantal, take the D1120 (was the N120) in the direction of Tulle and Limoges About 5 kms after a long climb down the hill, you will come to the roundabout marking the start of the Argentat bypass, take it, following signs for Tulle etc. (not Centre Ville). After crossing the Dordogne, you'll come to another roundabout with the supermarket Casino on your left (a fair place to fill up your car during working hours). Go straight on towards Tulle. After about 10 kms you will see our roadside sign on the right Continue from ref B

Directions from the South-West

From Toulouse Cahors etc.Take the A20 northbound. Just after junction 52 for Beaulieu, Collonges, & Turenne at Noailles, beware, as there is an automatic radar speed camera. Leave at Junction 50 and follow instructions as from the West.

Turn LEFT and after about 2kms you will see our roadside sign of the right,

telling you to turn right in 800 m.

Do so, and drive up the left hand side of the village square (we have a sign at the bottom of the square there) into the square in front of the Church. Don't climb the narrow cul de sac leading to our house, it's a dog leg and it's difficult to turn round. Park in that square, which is free anywhere for anyone, and walk up the imp La Fontaine.
